Singapore’s Robot Playground Media has completed the pilot episode of its adult animated horror anthology A Banquet for Hungry Ghosts, based on Ying Chang Compestine’s novel. The anthology consists of 10 stand-alone episodes, each centered on an iconic Chinese dish and animated in different styles by indie animation studios from around the world.
The first installment is titled ‘Egg Fried Rice’; an atmospheric period horror piece about a woman’s plot to murder her husband and stepdaughter, it draws inspiration from the works of Satoshi Kon, Guillermo del Toro and Zhang Yimou.
